I See the BMI scale brought up alot on these forums do you guys honestly believe in that chitty outdated system?

Since you phrased the question in such a biased way, obviously you don't.

I use BMI to set my own goals. I know that it doesn't apply in every case, but I think it's a good general guideline for a range of healthy weights for a non-athlete like myself.

I think there are far more people who like to consider themselves BMI outliers than there are actual BMI outliers.

My BMI is 24, I wear a size 2, and am a distance runner. I was obese when i wore a 4........BMI is a poor indicator. Fat percentage is wayyyy better

Its not supooseto be 100% accurate. everybodys body is different. As long as you see it moving the way you want then you are doing something right

Bmi is supposed to be used for populations not individuals. But it is an ok measure so long as you aren't a special snowflake.
